Abstract: The article discusses the survival of Culambacu language which leads to the ecolexicon of medicinal plants.

This type of research is field research with qualitative and quantitative methods. Data sources from the

study were informants aged between 15-17 year. Based on the analysis that has been done, the researcher

gets the result that of the 100 lexicons submitted to 50 respondents. The total number of lexicons that are

still known is 2,808 out of 5,000 lexicons that have been submittedBased on the analysis that has been done,

the researcher found that the survival rate of the Culambacu language lexicon in traditional medicinal plants

reached 56.16%. Based on the results of the study it can be said that the culambacu language still persists

among adolescents aged 15-17 years.

1 INTRODUCTION

The speakers of Culambacu language can be found

in North Konawe District, Southeast Sulawesi

Province. The Culambacu language consists of three

dialects, the Lamonae dialect in

WiwiranoSubdistrict and the Landawe dialect in

Oheo Sub-district of Konawe Utara District, and the

Torete dialect is on the east coast of Konawe District

in Waworaha Village. According to the local

community, the Culambacu people in the village

Culambacu District Wiwirano since the

establishment of the Kingdom of Culambacu with

the first king named Untolipu based in Wawoheo,

Takupuno. The Culambacu people according to the

local story are from seven brothers of six men one

woman, the only woman living in Culambacu, while

the six siblings are scattered to other areas.

According to the local community culambacu comes

from the word cu means down and mbacu means

stone. So, culambacu means down to the rock and

the descent place is called Cinutu. There is also a

saying that culambacu comes from the word horn

which means bamboo and mbacu means stone. So,

culambacu means bamboo stone. There is a

mountain in Culambacu there is an old cemetery

near him growing seven bamboo groves adjacent to

each other. This bamboo tree does not develop until

now, so it is most likely called stone bamboo

because it does not grow or grow. (La Ino, 2018)

Culambacu is a minority language in Southeast

Sulawesi. Based on a population census in North

Konawe, Culambacu, the number of speakers is

around 3,200. Culambacu is located surrounded by

the Tolaki language, the Bugis language, the Menui

language. Based on preliminary observations of

children and adolescents in everyday conversation,

they rarely use the Culambacu language except

using Indonesian. This phenomenon is the basis for

research on the Culambacu language. As an initial

step in research in the field of survival. The reason

for prioritizing research into survival is to find out

the level of vocabulary survival. By raising the issue

is whether teenagers who speak the Culambacu

language still maintain their language in everyday

language

Defined ecolinguistic as follows:Ecolinguisties is

an umbrella term for all approaches in wich the

study of language (and languages) is in any way

combined with ecology(Fill, 2001).Language

ecology according to Haugen (1971) is Language

ecology may be defined as the study of interactions

between any given language end its enrironment,

(Haugen, 1972)

This study was introduced for the first time by

Einar Haugen in his writing in the form of ecology

of language in 1972. Haugen preferred to choose

ecology of language compared with the other terms

that are relevant with this study. The selection was

based on a wide classification in it, in which the

linguists can cooperate with various kinds of the

other social sciences in understanding the interaction

of inter language, (Al Gayoni).

Inhis writing that entitles Ecolinguistics in the

University cited:

Ecology is the study of functional interrelationships.

The two parameters we wish to interrelate are

language and the environment/ecology. Depending

on whose perspective one takes one will get either

ecology of language, or language ecology.

Combined they constitute the field of ecoliguistics.

Ecology of language studies the support system

languages require for their continued wellbeing as

well as the factors that have affected the habitat of

many languages in recent times(Mulhauser, 1996)

In connection with the field of ecolinguistic study,

stated that ecolinguistics is related with ten fields of

study, i.e.: (1) comparative historic linguistic; (2)

Demographical linguistic; (3) Sociolinguistic; (4)

Dialinguistic; (5) Dialectology; (6) Philology; (7)

Prescriptive Linguistic; (8) Glotopolitic; (9)

Ethnolinguistic, anthropological linguistic or

cultural linguistic and (10) Tipology, (Haugen,

1972)

In ecolinguistic study, the most visible thing in

the relation of ecosystem that constitutes the part of

human’s life (ecology) with the language which

human beings use in communicating in their

environment. The environment is the physical

environment with language that causes a variety of

problems in the society. The bilingual/multilingual

situation is the one that makes the lingual interaction

to be present. The physical language with various

social conditions greatly influences the language

speaker psychologically in its lingual usage, (Al

Gayoni, 2012)

Ecolinguistic consists of two main parts, namely

analysis of eco-critical and ecology of linguistic

discourse. The eco-critical discourse is not apart

from the applying of critical discourse analysis

towards the text related with environment and the

parties involved in the environment in expressing the

ideologies underlying the text, but this study

analyses as well a variety of discourses having the

impact on the coming ecosystem. Besides, eco-

critical discourse not only focuses on the tracing of

the ideologies having the destructive potential, but

also searches discursive representation that can

contribute to the survival of society ecologically, (Al

Gayoni, 2012)

There is an evident relation concerning various

physical changes towards language and vice versa.

In his writing of Language and Environment,

Muhlhauster (1996) cited that there are four (4)

enabling the relationship between language and

environment. They all become different subjects of

linguistic studies. Everything becomes a different

subject from linguistic studies at some time or at

other times. The four relationships are:

1. Language is indenpendent and self-contained

(Chomsky, Cognituve Linguistics);

2. Language is constructed by the world (marr);

3. The world is constructed by language

(structuralism and post structuralism);

4. Language is interconnected with the world it

both construts

and

is construcred by it but rarely

indenpendent (ecolinguistics).

Language highly affects the paradigm, attitude,

and behavior of human beings. It can give the

positive implication towards physical, economic,

and social environment, namely the balance of the

environment that exists on the next generation can

be preserved and inherited. Conversely, it can give

the negative effect in various changes, imbalances,

and ecosystem damages. Thus, language can direct

its usage both for constructive things and destructive

one related with the environment, (Al Gayoni, 2012)

[6]Definition of lexicon by dividing it into some

categories, i.e. (1) lexicon is a component of

language containing all information about meaning

and word usage in language; (2) lexicon is the

wealth of words being owned by a speaker, writer

or a language of vocabularies; (3) lexicon is the list

of words being arranged like a dictionary, but with a

brief and practical explanation.

In erms of its usage, lexicon consists of two

components, i.e.:

1. active lexicon namely the wealth of words that

are usually used by someone,

2. passive lexicon namely the wealth of words that

are only understood the meaning by someone,

but is seldom or never used, (Hamid, 1991)

Medicine vegetation is all vegetations that can be

used as medicine, covering the vegetations that can

be seen by the eyes and the ones that can only be

seen by using microscope, (Hamid, 1991) According

to Zuhud (2004), medicine vegetation is all kinds of

medicine vegetation which are known or trusted to

have the usefulness of medicine that is grouped into:

1. traditional medicine vegetation is the kind of

medicine vegetation being known or being

trusted by the society to have the usefulness of

medicine and has been used as the main material

of traditional medicine;

2. moder medicine vegetation is the kind of

vegetation which has scientifically been proven

to have the compound or bioactive material with

having the usefulness of medicine and its usage

can be accounted for medically;

ICELS 2019 - International Conference on Education, Language, and Society

3. potential medicine vegetation is the kind of

medicine vegetation being suspected to contain

any compound or active material with having the

usefulness of medicine, but has not yet been

proven scientifically or its usage as traditional

medicine is difficult to trace

Research on ecolinguistics was conducted by

Yuniawan, et.al (2014) regarding students' attitudes

towards environmental preservation expressions at

Semarang State University. By using the

Ecolinguistic theory the research findings are: From

the overall level of student knowledge, it is found

that the overall knowledge is still less than a score of

70. This means that the level of student knowledge

about conservation is not too good. The average

score of attitudes of students in eight faculties

toward expressions shows that the highest average

attitudes toward conservation expressions are found

in Law Faculty students. If the overall attitude score

results are added up and divided into conservation

indicators, the most popular expression is in the

fields of ethics, art, and culture. Meanwhile, the

most unpopular phrase is in terms of conservation

publications. Consequently, the popularity of

conservation expressions from the most popular to

the most unfamiliar are (1) ethics, arts and culture,

(2) conservation cadres, (3) waste management, (4)

clean energy, (5) biodiversity, (6) green architecture

and internal transportation, (7) circumcision, and (8)

conservation publications.

Furthermore, research conducted by Kurnuati

(2017) about the development of children's stories

with an ecolinguistic approach as an expression of

local wisdom for the preservation of Javanese

language and the environment in elementary

schools. by using the Ecolinguistic theory the

research findings are that the needs of students in

learning Javanese elementary school are learning

written and spoken Javanese. The desired teaching

material is in the form of fairy tales and stories of

daily experiences / activities that use dialect

language where students are located by paying

attention to the environment and the natural

environment. Written language stories are picture

books and oral stories on audio visual media. The

need for teachers in learning Javanese elementary

school with an ecolinguistic approach is teaching

children stories that can train students to

communicate politely in their environment in daily

activities by paying attention to the use of language

in relation to humans, God, and the natural

surroundings. Preparation of teaching materials in

Javanese stories based on: (a) curriculum, (b)

ecolinguistic concepts, and (3) concepts of children's

story texts. The children's story models are written

and spoken in two Javanese dialects, namely [כ

[dialect and [a] dialect]. Stories developed in the

form of experiences, daily activities, cultural

activities, and fairy tales in the student environment.

This story teaching material is declared valid by the

material expert, instructional media expert, and the

teacher as the user.

Furthermore, research conducted by Mantiri,

et.al (2018). By using the ecolinguistic theory the

research findings are Based on the results of the

study, the ecological impact of the use of indicative

sentences is divided into two, namely the

constructive and destructive effects. Constructive

impact is usually the content, meaning or message

can affect the mindset and attitude of readers to help

preserve the environment. Positive texts can change

negative environmental ethics into positive. The

destructive impact of the use of sentences on

environmental discourse in the form of text that is

too clear, fulgar, excessive, and too detailed. The

text affects attitudes and mindsets that damage the

environment.

(2017) about the development of children's stories

with an ecolinguistic approach as an expression of

local wisdom for the preservation of Javanese

Research conducted by Santoso (2017) on Socio-

Econo-Ecolinguistic Analysis of Traditional Plant

Lexicon Retention for Cooking Spices for Students

in Semarang City. Using the ecolinguistic approach

the findings are that the results showed that

respondents from the University of the Indonesian

Teachers Association of the Republic of Indonesia

(UPGRIS) still retained 24 lexicon (75.00%) of the

32 lexicon tested. Furthermore, Semarang State

University (UNNES) ranks second, which still

maintains 14 lexicons (43.75%). Ranking 3 and 4

were occupied by respondents from the Catholic

University (UNIKA) Soegijapranata and Diponegara

State University (UNDIP), each of whom retained

only 6 lexicons (18.75%). Thus, the average

maintenance of a traditional plant lexicon for

cooking spices (bumbon) for female students in

Semarang City only reaches 54.94% (24 + 14 + 6 +

6/91). Thus, it can be concluded that the

maintenance of the traditional plant lexicon for

cooking Semarang students' spices is low. This

could mean that instant cooking has shifted

traditional cooking spices to around 45%. The

meaning of "bumbon" plants by respondents has

several similarities, for example, socially, plants are

interpreted as forming social relations between

respondents and the community (neighbors, farmers,

sellers, and their own families). Economically,

"bumbon" plants are intended to save family

expenses and can help improve the lives of farmers

and "bumbon" sellers. Ecologically this "bumbon"

plant is understood as environmental preservation

and the environment becomes beautiful, natural,

beautiful, cool, shady, healthy, beautiful, clean,

environmentally friendly. In addition, respondents

gave other meanings, such as preserving and

maintaining spices that inherited Indonesian spices,

living healthy, making fertile soil, and so on.

Lingual Khazanah Resistance Of Bima Language

Guyub Agriculture In The Domain Of Critical

Ecolinguistic Perspectives using the critical

ecolinguistic theory results is that in speakers of the

Bima language, the resilience of linguistic speech in

agriculture is still very well preserved, characterized

by the appearance of a characteristic number of

linguistic emergencies. the realm of agriculture in a

number of metaphors and expressions born of local

local wisdom. In the ecolinguistic view, the green

grammar view is used as an ideal form of structure

to harmonize the sentences / clauses that exist in the

harmony of the speech with nature.

2 METHOD

In this study data collection is focused on natural

setting or natural conditions.[9] In the collection of

data there are several stages performed, namely

tests, observations, interviews, personal and official

documentation, photos, pictures, and informal

conversations. The collected data is qualitative data.

Data analysis refers to [10] as a process of

organizing and sorting data into patterns, categories,

and sets of basic descriptions so that a theme can be

found.

To determine the percentage of survival rate and

non-resistance per lexicon Ecolexicon The

traditional medicinal plants of Culambacu language

as mentioned above, the researchers analyzed by

using the following formula:

This following is the elaboration of percentage of

sustainability of lexicon on traditional medicine

vegetation with the indicator of understanding on

each respondent in questionary contains 100

lexicons shown to 50 respondents.

Table 1 above shows that from 50 respondents,

there is no respondent that still really knows the

meaning and use of lexicon in the totality of lexicon

of Culmbacu language in environment of traditional

medicine vegetation/plants with the percentage of

100%. The rest is that they still know, but its

percentage does not fulfill until 100%. The

percentage that they know really does, but is not in

ICELS 2019 - International Conference on Education, Language, and Society

totality, 36% until 83%. However, there are 8

respondents in which its sustainability extent is

under 50%, because from 100 lexicons proposed by

8 respondents. The percentage of sustainability

extent that they know only 43% (1 respondent), 42%

(1 respondent), 39% (2 respondents), 37% (2

respondents),36% (2 respondents). The condition is

like this because these 8 respondents have not been

enough to know the meaning and use of lexicon of

Culambacu language in the environment of

traditional medicine vegetation/plant.

Based on the data percentage, the sustainability

extent for each respondent can be seen that the

highest respondent about the sustainability extent of

its lexicon is the respondent 1 with the percentage of

sustainability 83%. Thus, it can be given the

meaning that from 100 lexicons proposed towards

the respondent 1, this respondent still knows the

meaning and use from the highest of Culambacu

language in the environment of traditional medicine

vegetation/plants.

4 CONCLUSIONS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 Conclusions

Based on the analysis that has been done, the

researcher gets the result that of the 100 lexicons

submitted to 50 respondents, the total number of

lexicons that are still known is 2,808 (two thousand

eight hundred eight) out of 5,000 (five thousand)

lexicons that have been submitted. These results are

obtained from the sum of all known lexicons (2,808)

and the overall lexicon that has been proposed. So to

calculate the survival rate of each lexicon in overall

Culambacu language in North Konawe Regency

using the formula 2.808 / 5,000 x 100% = 56.16%.

Based on the analysis that has been done, the

researcher found that the survival rate of the

Culambacu language lexicon of traditional medicinal

plants / plants in North Konawe Regency reached

56.16%.

4.2 Recommendations

The cultural lexicon of the Culambacu language can

enrich the Indonesian language. Therefore,

Culambacu language needs to be conserved through

efforts and concrete actions related to the

conservation of marine environmental resources

involving all societies, especially the younger

generation. This effort is important to maintain the

lexicon of regional distinctiveness which is a

reflection of the history of the natural (physical) and

socio-cultural environments that lived in its day. The

goal is that every community plays an active role in

supporting the existence of Culambacu language

through the use of Culambacu language in daily

communication. Especially for the fisheries,

livestock and agriculture sectors, the findings of this

research are useful as inputs in determining research

policies and conserving biological resources. Thus,
